United Arab Emirates · Student or trainee
Student residence is sponsored by a licensed university or a resident parent
2 options to consider.
Work, study and long-term residence run on employer or institution sponsorship; Green (AED 15,000 a month) and Golden (AED 30,000 a month) residence remove the sponsor but only for people who meet the degree, skill-level and salary conditions on the ICP pages, and processing times and several fees are not published on the pages we checked.
A student residence visa is sponsored by the accredited university or college, or by a parent who is a UAE resident, and is issued for one year at a time with proof of continuing studies. The bad news: the government page does not state a fee, medical or insurance requirement, no federal language test is stated, and admission rules sit with each institution, so we do not publish figures for them. Outstanding students may qualify for Golden residence.
